I'm looking to get started with building a 3d printer and the parts are most easily made on another 3d printer or a laser cutter. I believe I can get all the 3d files needed to print the stuff.

Well I got some blank circuit boards and components in the mail. I'm going to use a laser printer to print the circuit and transfer it to the copper and then etch it. This circuit will be a stepper-motor controller that plugs into the parallel port on the computer(or USB if you get that kind of cable). Will get the motors next and assemble a desktop CNC machine. The CNC will mill the 3D printer parts and then we'll reuse the stepper motors and control boards.

If you want to become famous then design and print the first automatic gun, it's only a matter of time now...

Then print us a church :P

Actually the printer I'm making is a reprap, a self-replicating printer... so yeah I can print printers with my printer and make a billion dollars selling them, hehe.

I'm not down with the whole gun printing thing but I may try making some add-ons for all my guns ;)

If I get time I may print up a fully functional light saber
